GIC Housing Finance's Board approved its unaudited Q1 FY26 (quarter ended June 30, 2025) results on August 12, 2025. The company reported a standalone net profit of ₹735 lakh, down sharply from ₹3,896 lakh in the same quarter last year (an ~81% YoY decline), and swung to a pre-tax loss of ₹2,040 lakh versus a profit of ₹4,687 lakh earlier. Total income was largely flat at ₹26,543 lakh (₹27,718 lakh YoY), but expenses surged to ₹28,583 lakh from ₹23,031 lakh, driven mainly by a jump in impairment provisions on financial instruments to ₹7,797 lakh (from ₹2,384 lakh). The company changed its Expected Credit Loss (ECL) methodology, increasing ECL provisions by ₹5,416 lakh, and reclassified repossessed properties from 'Assets Held for Sale' to loans, adding another one-time ₹2,731 lakh in provisioning. EPS fell to ₹1.36 from ₹7.23. Asset quality weakened, with the Stage 3 (NPA) ratio rising to 4.74% from 3.98% YoY, while debt-equity improved slightly to 4.40x. The security cover for secured NCDs stood at 1.03x, meeting the minimum requirement.
Despite remaining technically profitable at the net level, the sharp earnings decline and one-time heavy provisioning suggest near-term headwinds for the stock, though management appears to be taking a conservative approach to clean up the book. Shareholders should watch for any improvement in asset quality and lending growth in coming quarters to gauge recovery momentum.
